3.0

Hide and secrets is the first Sophie Mackenzie book I’ve read although my daughter has read the girl, missing trilogy and loved it.


Although the writing was good and storyline easy to follow I find that with YA thrillers they lack the excitement that I find adult books have.

Saying that, I really enjoyed the character developments of Cat and her sister Bess who lost the ability to speak after their Dad’s death.

Tyler was a great crutch for Cat and his support and friendship through their whole adventure was really endearing.

I will definitely read more by this author but due to the YA nature of them I won’t expect the same thrills as I get from adult books.
